Panasonic DMC-TZ1 After switching on the camera Zoom will not work. i.e. stuck at wide angle.
The screen says' remove lens cap and try again'
After repeating that suggestion several times it will still not work.

I just had this problem, too. I basically disassembled the camera by removing the back cover, front cover, and top assembly. The top assembly includes a plastic part between a circuit board and the top external metal piece that houses the button on t ...

Sorry, it doesn't sound like a quick fix is going to work here. The lens sounds like it took a pretty good hit and may be misaligned now, which is keeping it from fully retracting. Your best bet is a service center at this point. ...

Frozen Camera I have a Panasonic Lumix TZ3 digital camera. The last time it worked, the screen went checkered, so i turned it off. But upon turning it off, the lens of the camera stayed out like it was taking a picture. Now it won't turn on. I've tried recharging the battery, changing memory cards, no memory card, switching settings and turning the on/off switch. Is there anything to be done or I do I just need to get a new camera?

Try letting it drop about 4 tto 6 inches on a hard service covered by a paper towel. Don't let it land on lens of course. You can remove the mem card. It has 13Meg of internal. ...

The power switch won't turn to Off from the Player position. There is a tiny green button that usually releases the switch so it will turn. This tiny green button seems to move in but I'm not sure if it's going in far enough. I suspect it is broken on the inside where it releases. I don't know if I can remove the switch knob by prying it up off the switch or if you can suggest a method of fixing this. I don't want to spend a whole lot of money on the camera (digital cameras look inviting), but I

You have not mentioned the make/model of the camera in question. However I think that the fault can be the switch , if so you can open and check if the slider is made to move further to trigger ON the camera.\015\012However if the fault is not ...

JVC Everio GZ-MC500 Camcorder. Video camera was left on unintentionally in the bag, and recorded around 1.3 GB of video. When this was discovered, the machine was switched off, and then back on again to capture video, at this point, the camera switched itself off. I thought it had just run out of battery power, but later found out that it would not switch on with a new battery, or with the mains adapter. Can you give me any advice on what may have happened, and whether it may be easily fix

Hp945lens When I fix a wide angle lens to my camera and switch it on, the zoom tries to come out, fails and then turns the camera off. I'm assuming that because the screw-on lens is on the outer fixed lens this is stopping the zoom from coming out which then turns the camera off. What am I doing wrong?

Hi Do you use a lens tube? You need one of these so the lens does not hit the screw on lens when it extends. Quite cheap on ebay etc. Standard 55mm thread.Hope this helpsjbrevealsall ...

My cannon rebel will not take picture or go to the menu the only thing it will do is turn on. And when i turn it on a message pops up that says "shooting is not possible. Turn the power switch to off and on again or re-install the battery." I have tried turning the camera on and off and reinstalling the battery multiple times but nothing works. Do i have to take my camera to a camera shop to get fixed or could i do something at home to fix it??

Lens error
When the camera is switched on the lens does not open out and the lens cover does not open. The camera then displays a "lens error" message and suggests that the camera be restarted ten switches off. This happens repeatedly.

This is probably THE most common failure among digital cameras. There's a halfway chance of fixing it yourself, described here: http://camerarepair.blogspot.com/2007/12/fixing-lens-error-on-digital-camera.html ...

Problem fixed Hi folks. Just want to let you know the problem with my camera with no image on screen is fixed. I took it to a repair guy and he had to open the camera and service the shutter. Seemed there was some dust or grit affecting the operation of the shutter. It was cleaned and camera is working fine. Thanks for all the advice. Hope my solution is helpful to you out there.

Without warning and for no apparent reason, when I switch the camera on all of the functions on the wheel switch work, but after a few seconds, the screen becomes snowy and then all white. I turn the camera off for a few minutes and then turn it on and go thru the same experience. Can that be fixed? If so, how?

Chances are that this is going to be a heat sensitive lcd driver chip, which, unfortunately, is a surface mount component, and not replaceable. The fix will be to replace it with a new main board.\015\012If I were in your shoes, I'd just get ...

How could I fix my camera please?

I have 2 pentax optio m20 cameras purchased at the same time. Both have developed the same problem: hit the on button and it tries to come on, but makes a funny sound, lens moves in and out trying to focus (screen is lit showing focus changing and green mode icon), then the camera shuts off and never gets into picture taking mode. I fixed one of the cameras once by pushing buttons after connecting and disconnecting from the computer (and the camera worked okay for several months), but repeate

I have a Nikon D40X camera with two lenses - one is 18-55 and the other is 55-200. Unfortunately, when I was at a wedding rehearsal, my 55-200 lens dropped off the pew on to the ground. It was not on the camera at the time and it has not worked properly ever since. My camera works properly with the 18-55 lens. Is there anything that can be done to fix it? Essentially, the camera can still focus, in and out, but when I try and push the button down, to take a picture, it just continues to refocus

It is broken - either you wear the cost and replace it, or send it to a lens specialist and have it reset. Without seeing it, it is impossible to ascertain the condition. Most lens repairers will give you a quote for only a few dollars.\015\012 ...

Olympus X-42 Camera - the screen has gone white (with a few thin green/purple vertical lines). When I switch on the camera the screen is white, there is no picture or menu displayed. I have checked by plugging it into the tv, and it takes pictures and goes into menus fine - it just doesn't display anything on camera screen. I have only had the camera for a week, and have not stored it anywhere humid. Is there anything I can do to fix, or do I just have to take it to get repaired?

There doesn't appear to be a solution. I have had to send mine off to be repaired. They don't provide a camera case but it is a very necessary piece of aquipment. I was told that the screen had been pressed. I can only think that this occured when tr ...

Help!! My Sony DSC-W100 isn't working. I've been sifting through the message boards and none of the solutions were working for me. Some of my friends were fiddling with my camera and the camera got left with the lens out and no battery left. So I charged the battery and put the battery back in but now the lens is expanding and retracting four times while the camera reads "access" and then "turn the camera off and then on." I've been doing this repeatedly with no avail! Is there anyway to fix it

The only thing that can be done but may not fix it is to push reset switch under battery compartment door (pinhole)..also make sure you do use fresh batteries.Use good batties not cheap batteries because these camera require good current to drive ..i ...

Focus camera will not focus, even sight screen is out of focus
The camera will not focus. When switched on it beeps with a flashing green light near rthe view-finder and the lens housing extends. This repeats and the then the viewing screen goes blank. Pressing the AEL button will illuminate the viewing screen, but it is out of focus. Half depression of the shutter makes no difference. I had previously some intermittent operation of the zoom mechanism. The camera has not been dropped or jarred.

Your camera is having a problem positioning the lens unit, more than likely the cause is grit/dirt in mechanism, I recommend that you take the camera to a autorised service agent to have it stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. This is not really a repair t ...
